| examples of nonvascular plants? | mosses,liverworts |
| Plants with flowers are called?? | Angiosperms |
| Plants without flowers?? | Gymnosperms |
| root-like structures:not true roots because they lack veins? | Rhizoids |
| Small individual plants in a clump of moss? | leafy shoots! |
| Non-vascular brophyta | mosses, lack of vascular tissue limits to small size:produce spores and not seeds |
